my creative space...

I'll be at The Market on sunday week. There's lots to do... My sister will be visiting that weekend too... In the words of little owlet "I'm so e-cited! Lets clean up!!"

We're also taking inspiration from the first frost and the Bridgewater Jerry and remembering to tuck the garden in for the winter.

The ground is easier to dig, the weeds have slowed and its a good time to plan. Its an improvement. We've been dreaming up ideas for an enclosed chook run and owlet treehouse in the walnut tree. We're not builders. It could take some time. But we've been getting loads of inspiration here. If kids can do it, surely we can, right?

Pop on over to Kirsty's and see what other creative types are up to this week.

Love the little car.Just wondered if building a "no dig" above ground vegetable garden would make life easier for you?They are a great way to plant and grow and so easy to maintain, lots of sites for help online.

Mmmm, yes we did start out with no dig, Charlotte. We've found that rotating the chooks over the beds, permaculture style, works much easier and is a whole lot cheaper when it comes to mulch etc. We just have to make sure we dig it over when the chooks are done scratching a square ;)

Hope you do well at the market. Just love that vegie patch by the way. Hope you have a great time cultivating. How cold is it in Tassy in September? Planning a family holiday - the first for my young girls. Not sure whether to come over in September or November.
